Aw, Code ... Sorry to hear of your imminent departure. You've been a true inspiration to thousands of Guys, all over the world, here on JUB, in SO many ways! 
I'm sure that ALL of "Us" are wishing YOU the Very Best in your upcoming ventures! And, as I'm sure we'll be thinking of You, I hope that "We" might cross your mind, now and then. Hopefully, those thoughts will bring a little smirk/smile to that gorgeous face of yours!
Of course ... no matter what ...
Keep smilin'!!

Thank you for all the kind words!
Accepting yourself. So easy, so difficult.
In the late teens, most of us have pretty fragile self-confidences. It takes no more than a negative remark before a complex is born. For some people, these complexes disappear when they get older and learn to accept themselves, for others the complexes becomes a part of their person, something they can never get rid of.
When I was about 14, I started to compare myself with others. I wished I was braver, better at speaking german in class, that I was better at soccer, that I was more popular and that I had a different looking body. Most people know that the teens doesn't necessarily determine your future- courage can come, the german can improve, soccer kind of looses its importance and the body does change- but right there and then, the present was all that mattered. I remember being even more shy than I am now. At school I would often turn and walk the other way if I saw any of the "cool kids" approaching. I always felt and acted weird when they were around, because I didn't feel comfortable.
Later on I gradually got more self-confidence, but I still compared myself with others. After some time it was more and more about appearance, about muscles and looks. It's almost like a sick, persistent comparison leading to distortions in self-image, bad feelings and negative focus. You will always find people that are better looking, cooler, that has better hair, nicer abs, bigger biceps etc. On top of it all, you feel that you shouldn't have all those feelings, thus acknowledging another flaw in yourself.
My biggest complexes were(and still are to some extent), that I was too tall and too skinny, the latter being the easier to change.
So I started working out, thinking that everything would be so much better.
But it didn't. I did get some effect, sure. Just not what I wanted. What I really wanted was to shrink, so I could look just as good as those 5'10 jocks. I realized that I could never look the way they do.
Then I started to think. Why was it just me that had a wrong built body? Why didn't I had a body that matched my passions? Would it mean that I had placed myself on the wrong shelf in this life? That I simply tried to try my physical features by attempting something that in theory required a different body type?
I asked myself those questions several times a day. I thought, because of my limitations, I was failing.
I am still dealing with my complexes. I understand that there's no way to escape my genetics, and accepting limitations is not failing. I understand that I have come a long way towards my goals. I can still look at myself in the mirror two times in the same week and see two different persons, all depending on what I've eaten or how many times I've been to the gym. I realize it is mostly in my head. I have a lot more self-confidence now, but going to the gym didn't do it all for me, facing the facts has. Also, this thread, with all you wonderful people has helped me a long way. I'm sure I'm not the only one with thoughts like this, but I've been too embarrassed or ashamed of how I feel about myself to tell anyone (but a few).
I have stretched the target a little longer now; to be happy with who I am, and to by happy with myself.
So easy, so difficult.

Code, first of all, you look awesome. You looked awesome when you started! And I mean that. Huge muscles don't a hot guy make.
I actually makes me sad that you feel that way about yourself, but I do understand....
And you are ABSOLUTELY NOT alone. I think most of us always look to others and want a better body, to have a better tan, skin, whatever. I most certainly had all the same hangups. In the end, there's only so much I can do with what I have. Self-acceptance and not giving a damn about how others MAY see you is an important step.
Seriously, I WISH I looked like you at that age. I was thin as a rail. Chin up, man.
Once again, I wish you the very best in your future. Good luck, Code.

you are for sure not the only one with thoughts like this. it's one of the hardest challenges in life to be able to look at yourself in the mirror and see that you are not perfect - and be happy with who you are. you will always find someone better, hotter, smarter. does that make you bad, ugly, stupid? no - you need to change your perception, you need to see yourself for your own qualities. trust me - i'd be happy if i were a bit taller. but i am not. that used to bother me years ago, but today it's just part of me, my identity
it's an important step to be able to accept yourself, and i am happy that you made it.

Code ...
I'm barely 5'6". Everywhere I went there was ALWAYS someone bigger, stronger, taller than ME! (The girls, too!
) There were times I would have KILLED to have YOUR body and awesome looks! 
The only things that kept me from physical harm, and social ostracism, during those troubling teen years, were my sense of humor, sharp tongue, quick wit, and even faster legs!
It's most interesting to hear about your point of view from, what was to me, the opposite end of the spectrum.
My point is ... no matter who/what we are, we're always going to be running into those who are perceived as somehow "better". It's simply human nature to "compare", and, often, feel that we are coming up "short".
You are absolutely right that the first thing we have to do is to learn to accept ourselves, just as WE Are. Only then will we be able to move "forward" in getting on with our own, unique, Lives.
"Acceptance" begins within our own Hearts. And, when that finally happens, we can start to reach our Full Potentials. YOU certainly seem to be on the right track (muscles or not)!
That is why I say ... Most Sincerely ... no matter what ...
Keep smilin'!!

I could say things like, Oh you look great, and you were fine before you started. But the fact of the matter is none of that means anything because you don't see it. What you see is a goal not met, what everyone else sees is simply progress, very good progress at that.
Comparing yourself to others is a normal I think. It is human nature to want to look better, do better, be better. When another person is one of those, you think to yourself why can't I do/be that? I don't think it is something to be ashamed of or embarrassed. If it is then I should be very ashamed. I have been comparing myself to you.
What you have accomplished in my eyes is awesome, Thus I want to try and emulate it. Will I ever get there? probably not, I don't have a large enough frame. But will I be better then I was before? definitely I think comparing yourself to others is what gives you motivation. It becomes unhealthy when it starts to depress you or you start to lose sight of your original intent. Unfortunately it is a very thin line.
I have the same type of complexes you call them. So far I have yet to find out how to accept my limitations, to be happy with who I am, and happy with myself. It is something I just can't do right now. If you figure it out before me, then share it will you? and vice versa.
Sorry that you will be gone for awhile. I think I speak for many here that you will be truly missed. Not just your pics mind you but your honesty, your knowledge and your willingness to help others. You have helped motivate many people to get the body they want, to be in better shape. You showed how you did it and how life gets in the way. You showed that it is possible. I thank you for that
Now you better MSN/facebook/email me or Antares or someone every now and then so that we can let the rest of jub know how you are doing. Because people here care about your well being.
Well that and we want to see those blue eyes again
Take care Codeerror
Thank you for everything and Good Luck in your journeys ahead.

Back!
At least for this week. I've travelled quite a bit since I last posted in this thread. I'm still very much the same person, but perhaps more reflected. I've had some experiences that I never dreamed of having, and I have done things I thought was not humanly possible (for me at least). Over the last year ive weighed 190lbs and 250lbs, ive gone for periods of 5 days with nothing to eat and lived about 90 days outdoors, summer and winter.
Why do I tell you this?
I've still managed to hit the gym regularly (ish). And at least enough to have some progress even Because I had my routines and that I am used to eating healthy, it's not even a thing I think about anymore.
Current weight: 230lbs

I would truly like to hear more about your adventures, and even more about what they may have brought you in terms of "self discoveries".
As far as I'm concerned, YOU are truly one Fascinating Guy! And, I mean that in all the best ways!
Keep smilin'!!

P.S.
Mark1111, where on "The Cape" are you? My family had a place on Wellfleet harbor for years, and years.

Hmm, im still doing what I've been doing
Ive seen Vienna, Sweden, Svalbard, Credenhill(UK) and some more or less remote parts of Europe.
How are you holding up Corny?
Oooh vienna is beautiful
Really loved this city. Can't say much about the rest though 
still want to do a few more scandinavian countries. Especially iceland though. And not to hijack this thread .. I'll post more pics of what I did the past months soon.
